Re: Beam positions and time signature spacing

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hi Peter!

Thanks a lot for the scan. I would say that even though she doesn't condemns
her example a), she still considers b) as bad and c) as the best compromise.
My corrections above are all similar to her example c)

What about her recommendation of Ted Ross' The Art of Music Engraving and
Processing, does anyone have this book? What does it say about the beams?

This issue came to me while showing one of my compositions to a friend of
mine who used to work at Bärenreiter. His opinions are exactly what I
reproduced on my question above. Also, looking at my G Henle Verlag
editions, I noticed that beams such as of type a) indeed do appear from time
to time, but they are somehow rare. The majority of beams are: straight,
slightly angled but covering the staff lines or positioned above/below the
staff lines (where any angle can take place).

Take care,
Gilberto
